145. The Wicked Woman and Menhera (3)
145. The villainess and Menhera (3)
Click-clack-clack-
The subtle, unpleasant sound of metal clashing against each other.
That unpleasant sound was flowing through the hallway of the Sinclair family mansion.
‘No one truly knows the meaning of this sound.’
This is something that even I don’t want to hear.
But, that sound is the sound of someone’s burning will to live.
… It’s honestly a lie.
“No matter how hard I try to pack it, it won’t work. Tsk, wearing armor in everyday life is crazy.”
I tried to present myself in a nice way, but it was impossible.
From Noble mtl dot com
It is extremely uncomfortable to wear armor and go about your daily life.
Every time I walk, the sound of metal rings and the heaviness of the armor weighs down my body.
Even when drinking water, you have to take off your armor helmet inconveniently.
“I’m doing this to survive. Why does it feel like my lifespan is getting shorter?”
It’s crazy.
The moment I opened the lid of my armor helmet to drink water.
Bluebell came next to me and smiled.
“Puhup, what is that you look like? “You look so f*cking stupid?!”
“… Noisy. “Don’t laugh at my struggles in life.”
I said that and grabbed a cup to drink water.
Clatter-clatter-
… The weight of the armor made my arms tremble like aspen trees.
“That’s really stupid. My arms are shaking too. Damian, tell me honestly. “Are you smarter than me?”
“… “It’s noisy.”
“Byeongsin. Give me a cup. “I will feed you.”
Bluebell longed for me because she thought it was this time.
She took the cup of water from my hand, raised her tiptoes, and poured it into my mouth.
“You are such an animal, Damian.”
“At times like this, they say it’s like a baby bird.”
“Either that or that. “After all, it’s an animal.”
“… “That’s right.”
Gulp-
After clearing my throat, I turned my head and looked at Bluebell.
Bluebell seemed to be satisfied with giving me water, and a smile appeared on her lips.
“Why are you smiling?”
“It’s just that I needed you before. “I feel like you need me now.”
“… “
It hurts my pride, but I can’t refute it.
Now I need Bluebell.
If it weren’t for her, I would still be lying in her bed, covered in her blanket.
And, including Bluebell, I needed help from other villains.
“Thank you for that, Bluebell.”
“Hmph, I’m not accepting that thank-you note right now. I’ll get it later. So, don’t think about dying, just live.”
Because my life depends on your life.
Bluebell said that and habitually kicked my shin.
“Ahh!”
“I wore armor.”
“It’s even harder… “
Bluebell had tears in her eyes at her pain.
On the other hand.
“If it’s this hard, it won’t suddenly get stabbed and kill you.”
It seemed like he had once again realized the strength of the armor.
“Hmph, not bad.”
***
At that time.
If we could easily interpret what the old woman said.
Because I changed important fates, heaven said it would kill me.
He also said that it was inevitable and could never be changed.
Does that mean I have to stay still?
That’s not it again.
‘There must be a way somehow.’
At first, I vaguely thought so.
However, now I plan to strengthen that idea even further.
In other words, they will act to increase their chances of survival as much as possible.
That’s why.
Knock knock-
“Nadia, this is Damian. “Can I come in?”
-Please come in, Damien.
I entered Nadia’s room, which was strong.
To have a serious conversation with her.
Nadia sat cross-legged in her chair and rolled her eyes as if appraising me.
“Hmm, the armor looks good on you, Damian. Even though I can’t see her face. “Damian, I know it’s you.”
“… “I’m glad it suits you well.”
“But.”
As soon as Nadia finished speaking, the helmet protecting my head rose in the air.
It was the power of Nadia’s family.
“I want to see your face. So, please take off your clothes in front of me.”
“… “I’ll try.”
“That’s an ambiguous answer, Damian. The answer should be ‘yes’ and ‘no’. Yet again.”
“… Okay.”
“Good job, Damien.”
Nadia smiled as she saw me revealing her face.
It seemed quiet at the Sinclair Mansion, but today Nadia’s mood seemed to be similar to her previous days.
‘It’s a similar atmosphere to when I was imprisoned…’ ‘
Coercive.
The atmosphere seems to be trying to suppress me with force.
It seemed like strong air was filling the space.
Something is strange.
“Damian.”
“Uh, huh?”
“If you came to see me, wouldn’t you tell me your business? If you don’t have any business, you’ll feel better without it. “I’m not in a good mood these days.”
Nadia crossed her arms and glared at me as if she was uncomfortable.
She had been talking to her mother a lot lately, and it seemed like something was off with her.
I made eye contact with Nadia, who was uncomfortable, and opened her mouth.
“Nadia.”
“Tell me.”
“Can you help me? “I need your help.”
“Hmm, that’s surprising. DAMIAN It seems unusual for you to ask for help. First… “
Nadia said, crossing her legs.
“Shall we start by listening to what we can do to help?”
Nadia’s response was interesting.
“Let me start with an explanation… I met a person downtown. But, that person looked into my fate through the power of his family.”
“Hmm, so?”
“Now my fate is twisted. They said I would inevitably die. “I changed other people’s fates so much that heaven said they were punishing me.”
“What’s the point?”
“Help me properly. So that I don’t die. “I want you to help me escape from that inevitability.”
“Hmm… “
After Nadia listened to my explanation, she was deeply troubled.
She seemed to be thinking deeply as she tapped her fingers.
I appealed further to prevent her worries from deepening.
“You wouldn’t want me to die, wouldn’t you?”
“That’s true, Damian. “I don’t want you to die.”
“Then, you will help me-“
“Of course I will help you. But Damian. “Your request is too vague.”
Nadia spread one of her fingers.
“First of all. Help her escape from inevitability, she said. But how specifically do you escape from necessity?”
“Let’s work together to find that-“
“If you die, you’ll just be wasting time.”
Nadia spread one more finger.
“Second. There is no guarantee that that is true. Bluebell The future that clever b*tch talks about can be proven. But what did the old woman say for the first time? She could be a crazy old woman. “I don’t trust you.”
“Please explain so that I can understand-“
“Damian, you know me well. “I can’t understand things that I can’t see and that don’t exist in the world.”
Nadia spread her fingers one last time.
“Third. From the beginning, I planned to protect you, Damian. At the same time, since you may die, I will value the present more than the useless future. In that sense, I am.”
I’m going to get married with you.
“It is best for you not to die, but it doesn’t matter if you die and become a widow. Because I will be happy to get married to you. Because I became the family I longed for. Because you and my love can be stuffed in front of other people. But, if you’re afraid of dying and can’t do anything… “
It would be better to die with you now.
Because dying without doing anything with you right now is no different from my own death.
As Nadia said that, her eyes felt as hard as a rock.
‘Those eyes are already impossible to persuade…’ ‘
An attitude as if one has already made a decision and does not even listen to what others say.
Nadia looked directly into my eyes and muttered.
“Damian, I feel so sorry. I want you so much The world doesn’t recognize me. Instead, they try to interfere with my plans. “It’s a pity that everything happens the way I want except you.”
“Now, wait a minute, Nadia. Shall we think differently? “You seem too emotional right now?”
Nadia got up from her chair and came towards me.
She said, “She was engaged and was even planning to get married. “Why can’t I just let the world go the way I want it to go?”
“Well, that’s because fate was twisted. Together we can change that inevitability-“
“I am the one who truly wants you. Why doesn’t your mother know that, Damian? Since he is the one who gave birth to you, there will be no shortage of eyes.”
Sleep-
Nadia ran her fingers down my cheek.
“Still, you don’t have to worry. Damien, even if you die. “You will not die.”
Memories inside me.
It will be stuffed inside me and live forever.
Unchanging value.
Immortality.
Like a finished painting.
Always, always, the same.
This is what Nadia wanted.
“Ignore all other people’s opinions. Marry me, Damian. Even if you die. “Because you will live within me until the end.”
Forever.
After she finished speaking, she looked down at her hands and saw that a wedding ring was on top of her engagement ring.
Two rings related to love.
‘Maybe it’s because I heard that I was going to die…’ It’s not normal… ‘
It seemed as if it meant bondage.
